EU-27: Surplus of about 1% above the 2020 target 25 MS forecast to achieve or exceed their binding 2020 targets within national borders Only Italy and Luxembourg plan to use CoopMex to meet binding 2020 targets According to the RES industry projections, the EU-27 could reach Source: EU Roadmap 24.4%

50 Enabling Policy Measures Supporting the transition towards a 100% renewable energy economy with all EU policy areas Less is more an ambitious framework for Europe s energy demand Effective and full implementation of the new RES Directive Binding renewable energy targets for 2030 Full liberalisation of the energy market Phasing out all subsidies for fossil and nuclear energy and introducing an EU-wide carbon and energy tax

51 Enabling Infrastructure Measures Electricity Infrastructure Moving Towards SuperSmartGrids Hybrid Energy Solutions and Virtual Power Plants Heating and Cooling Measures to Awaken the Sleeping Giant New Transport Solutions Enabling Energy Consumers Think Global, Act Local Smart-Energy Cities 2050 Smart-Energy Buildings 2050 Constructing a Better Climate

52 The collapse of the Old Oil Order Whatever the outcome of the protests, uprisings, and rebellions now sweeping the Middle East, one thing is guaranteed: the world of oil will be permanently transformed. Consider everything that's now happening as just the first tremor of an oilquake that will shake our world to its core Here, however, is the news that should be on the front pages of newspapers everywhere: that old oil order is dying, and with its demise we will see the end of cheap and readily accessible petroleum - forever.
